Proverbs 26:20-22 Where no wood is, there the fire goeth out: so where there is no talebearer, the strife ceaseth. As coals are to burning coals, and wood to fire; so is a contentious man to kindle strife. The words of a talebearer are as wounds, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly.
Simply saying stop gossip or backbiting and you are sure to dwell next to the Holy one the most High God.
“And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, BACKBITERS, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,” Romans 1: 28-30 ‘BACKBITERS‘
